Funky Picnic at Rahr & Sons Brewing

Funky Picnic at Rahr & Sons Brewing

In this episode Ross and Chance travel to Fort Worth.

We sit down with Samantha from Funky Picnic Brewery and Cafe and Alyssa Redd from Rahr and Sons brewing.

We talk about the soon to be open Funky Picnic, Pink Boots Society, the difficulty of scheduling food trucks, why you have to be careful about making Mitch Hedberg jokes during interviews, and why Alyssa can't watch any movies that were made before 2002.

Oh and we drink some beers. We try Rahr's Paleta de Mango, Winter Warmer, and Angry Snowman.

Our Second Macaron Pairing: Part 1

It's one year later and we are again joined by Sarah from Maison de Macarons for a historic beer and macaron pairing.

We pair Mexican hot chocolate macarons with Tejano Dreams, a chile cider from Fairweather Cider and Tony tries to unsuccessfully defend France. Then we move on to pair lemon and orange hopped macarons with Lagersaurus Tex, a Helles from Barrow brewing.

But Sarah messed up because the macarons are way better than any beer ever could be.

One dark and stormy night we drank a lot and then decided to try Pomona from Martin House Brewing, a whiskey barrel aged fruited sour.

We get a bit PG while we talk about Chance's wrestling name, barrel aging, Pat Summerall, Peter Gabriel, why Phil Collins wrote a song instead or reporting a crime, and the differences between William Refrigerator Perry, Microwave Perry, Airfryer Perry, and Pickle Jar Perry.

We tried Desert Pilsner and a Rio Grande Pancho Verde Chili Cerveza from Sierra Blanca Brewing Company and Sky High Rye and Loch Down, a Scotch Ale, from Arcadia Ales. We talk about pairing foods, fortified wine, and we try to define craft beer again while Clint struggles with spices.

We tried an IPA and a Vienna lager from Alamo Beer Company and Blue Collar Blonde and Fools Gold, a peanut butter hefeweizen, from Rusty Rail Brewing. We talk about Tang, Dunkaroos, Handisnacks, and the brilliance of Tropic Thunder.

And again we find out that Clint loves a good IPA, how transcendent a peanut butter beer can be, and much more when we dive into our third box from Craftbeerclub.com.
